I measured the feet as directed and one of my girls has feet bigger than the largest old mac boot. Do they have ones for super big feet or am I out of luck?...
You can brush on ordinary turpentine...I used it a few times for my gelding's feet. I only put it on about half a dozen times and that seemed to do the trick....

Frances, I would love to say I am buff and svelt but I am just scratched, bruised and more than a little bit dehydrated. It is amazing how many Blizzards,...
Turpentine- very interesting! Can you do it too much... do you do it a few times and that's it forever? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Congratulations, Laurie!! We're in about the same boat. We've got 1800 small squares and 142, 5x4 rounds. Mike and I worked until 3 a.m. last Wednesday...
If you have the time, just working a little longer every day on hard or rough ground will toughen them up. I try to avoid putting any chemical on my horse...
I have heard this about using turpentine before. Without any hard facts to back me up, I would be concerned that this might not be healthy for the horse. We...
I'm with Christie and Katherine on this one. I would question quick fixes for hardening the sole of a horse's hoof. Just like when we are kids, it takes time...
Yikes, a skunk? Poor skunks have never figured out that in *this* world, there are indeed things they should back down from. I have seen more dead baby...
It's not something that anyone uses on a long-term basis that I know of...I've probably used it 6 times in all. Two years ago, he went ouchy in front as the...
You might check out a product called Keratex Hoof Hardener. I have not tried that particular product but I do have the putty and the wet shield. I did a lot of...
I know hardening up the foot naturally is a good idea - but it won't work with all horses. I have a 4 yr old Canadian mare who is exposed to sand, gravel and...
Cec, you were in my old stomping grounds. Was it the FlameBurger?!!!. My brother had a dairy farm in South Gower (ada Pelton's Corners) near Kemptville so we...
I have a mare who was starved before we bought her. She's the only one out of eight equines that has any hoof issues. Like you we have sand, gravel, rocks...
The Flameburger sounds right...it sure came in handy during hay time. Fred had pigs and did cedar posts, but he did make great horse hay...he refused to cut...

Just a comment about one of the group members saying her horse's feet dropped two sizes after going barefoot. None of my mares on this farm have ever had a...
Hello group, I was told by someone last month that I can give my horse sunstroke if I put him outside after giving him a bath or even just wetting him down....
Can't imagine this. We bathe our dark horses and let them graze in the yard til they dry on sunny days...so they don't roll. You DO have to be sure to use a...
Hi, Because of various commitments and schedules, we're a little late getting rolling in the show season this year, and a little early for Canadian Horse Week....
Oh I scape him off every time. I like meander around with him from tasty patch of grass to another tasty patch while he dries. I'd just never heard of it...
